Do you want to manage your chronic pain and get your life back on
track? Are you fed up with being held hostage by persistent pain
and want to take action now? This book by chronic pain expert Dr
Nicola Sherlock will show you how. Chronic pain is a huge problem.
It is estimated that between one third and one half of the adult
population in the UK live with pain. In turn, many people struggle
to manage their pain; they report that it affects nearly every
aspect of their lives, and that they feel held captive by it.
Furthermore, the emotional impact of pain has been increasingly
recognised, and it is recommended that treatments for chronic pain
no longer rely on medication alone. However, it is difficult to
find relatable, easy-to-understand information on the non-medical
aspects of pain management. Master Your Chronic Pain adopts a
holistic view of pain. Each chapter looks at a different aspect of
pain management, from the benefits of mindfulness meditation to
overcoming a fear of exercise to strategies for improving sleep.
The emotional impact of pain is discussed, and practical tips for
managing stress, worry, and low mood are given. Strategies for
managing thoughts and emotions are explored, and the impact of pain
on relationships is examined. This book uses principles from
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which has been established
as a highly effective therapeutic approach in the management of
chronic pain. Through Master Your Chronic Pain, you will be able to
take control of your condition. The interventions and techniques
detailed have consistently helped to improve outcomes and reduce
people's reliance on medication. The techniques help people to live
fuller, more enjoyable lives once more. > Understand the nature
of chronic pain to manage it better. > Appraise the life values
and motivations that underpin your journey away from pain's
control. > Boost your energy levels and zest for life by eating
smarter, sleeping better, and becoming more active. > Manage the
negative inner voices that constrain the life you desire. >
Become less rigid in your thinking and grow your self-confidence.
> Embrace the benefits of mindfulness to combat persistent
pain's obstacles. > Handle stress, anxiety, and low mood to
develop a life of increased independence and fulfilment. About the
author. Dr Nicola Sherlock has spent 20 years working in a pain
service in the NHS, and has worked with thousands of patients who
have shared their stories. Using these accounts and applied
research from pain management studies, Nicola has helped many
people to manage their pain and live better lives. In this book,
Nicola shares her knowledge and expertise with compassion and
understanding so that readers can master their pain and live
better, more fulfilled lives.
The work of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission
(ARCIC), now in its third phase, is of immense ecumenical
significance. This volume brings together for the first time the
five Agreed Statements of ARCIC II. It offers critical analyses of
their contexts and of responses made, together with resources to
promote the reception of ARCIC II's work by the Anglican Communion
and the Catholic Church. Looking towards a Church fully reconciled
also looks forward, anticipating what it will mean to live in a
fully reconciled Church. Its editors trust that such reflection on
the ARCIC heritage will serve the mission of God through the
reconciled people of God, walking ever more closely together.
Funeral monuments are fascinating and diverse cultural relics that
continue to captivate visitors to English churches, yet we still
know relatively little about the messages they attempt to convey
across the centuries. This book is a study of the material culture
of memory in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England. By
interpreting the images and inscriptions on monuments to the dead,
it explores how early modern people wanted to be remembered - their
social vision, cultural ideals, religious beliefs and political
values. Arguing that early modern English monuments were not simply
formulaic statements about death and memory, Dr Sherlock instead
reveals them to be deliberately crafted messages to future
generations. Through careful reading of monuments he shows that
much can be learned about how men and women conceived of the world
around them and shifting concepts of gender, social order and the
place of humans within the universe. In post-Reformation England,
the dead became superior to the living, as monuments trumpeted
their fame and their confidence in the resurrection. This study
aims to stimulate historians to attempt to reconstruct and engage
with the world view of past generations through the unique and
under-utilised medium of funeral monuments. In so doing it is hoped
that more light may be shed on how memory was created, controlled
and contested in pre-modern society, and encourage the on-going
debate about the ways in which understandings of the past shape the
present and future.
Globally, over the next 40 years, the number of people, aged 60 and
over is set to grow by one and a quarter billion. More than 80 per
cent of these people will be living in developing regions, such as
Asia, Africa, and Latin America. What are the implications of this
for the world? What will old age be like for these people? This
book offers a general, critical review of the current state of
knowledge on population ageing and older people in developing
countries. It combines a wide range of perspectives - from
development studies, social gerontology, social policy, and
demography - into a single, original, and coherent book. It
examines the neglected topic of ageing and international
development alongside the experiences of older people. Population
Ageing and International Development will be the main reference
point for teaching and research in the field.
At the end of the twentieth century the forces of race, gender,
ethnicity, culture, social status, lifestyle and sexual orientation
threaten to disassemble any universal notion of "human nature" or
"human condition". In light of this historical moment and its
challenges, the Christian doctrine of humanity is ripe for
clarification and restatement. This theological task, argues
Sherlock, demands a "double focus." Both the human image of God and
the particular realities of human existence must be brought into
sharper, more detailed focus. Only then will we begin to understand
human nature in the light of divine revelation. Sherlock notably
engages the communal dimension of humanity in its creational,
social and cultural aspects before examining the human person as
individual, as male and female, and as whole being. The Doctrine of
Humanity is a timely and engaging look at what it means to be human
on the continuum between our creation in the divine image and our
hope of re-creation in the image of Christ.
In Drugs and the Liver: High Risk patients and Transplantation,
leading physicians, hepatologists, pharmacologists, pathologists
and transplant surgeons discuss the most recent advances in the
field of liver disease and their treatment. Attention is focused on
epidemiology, the diagnosis of disease (clinical chemistry,
histopathology, medical imaging analysis), prognosis, prediction,
and clinical management. Pathogenesis of diseases such as liver
cirrhosis following viral disease or alcohol abuse are discussed at
length, and special attention is dedicated to high risk patients
(children, fulminant hepatitis). The other major topics include
terminal liver failure, for which transplantation is now routine.
The latter is discussed in depth, starting from the organ donor
management, organ evaluation and preservation, new surgical
techniques, post-transplant patient follow-up including side
effects of immunosuppression, and reports of the latest drugs used
to prevent rejection.
Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few
general onco logy textbooks are generally out of date. Single
papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom
comprehensive; these are more often preliminary reports on a very
limited number of patients. Certain general journals fre quently
publish good indepth reviews of cancer topics, and published sympo
sium lectures are often the best overviews available.
Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically,
and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest
will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of
authoritative volumes which aim to meet this need. It is an attempt
to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering
virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the
coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or
by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem
in the following fashion. First, by divid ing the oncology
literature into specific subdivisions such as lung cancer,
genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc. Second, by asking
eminent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the
specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each topic and tumor
type is covered in a volume appearing frequently and predictably,
discussing current diagnosis, staging, markers, all forms of
treatment modalities, basic biology, and more."

This book investigates the significance of historical narratives in
Soviet and post-Soviet space. Encompassing reform under Mikhail
Gorbachev and retrenchment under Vladimir Putin, it explains the
political, social, and cultural importance of a polity's myths.
Charting the rise of anti-Soviet and anti-communist narratives
under perestroika, and their eventual marginalization in
post-Soviet Russia, the book argues that changes in symbolic
politics must be examined within cultural, socio-political, and
international contexts. Of particular relevance is the interactive
relationship between state and society. The study of historical
discourse must focus not only on how and why the state imposes its
discursive preferences on society, thereby shaping public memory,
but also on why and how the state itself is constructed by
prevailing narratives in society.
Neal Lawson and Neil Sherlock have gathered together a team of leading politicians, journalists, and academics in this controversial look at the future of the centre-left in Britain. The contributors identify the failures of social democracy and liberalism in the last century and seek to unify these two strands of progressive thinking, providing insightful analysis of the opportunities and threats that face New Labour and the centre-left.
Can Labour and the Liberal Democrats redefine politics to make the
21st Century a progressive century? Can the centre-left find a
common cause to tackle the alienation from politics, the
globalisation of power, the need to modernise public services and
the will to face up to the environmental challenges? Will the
centre-left unite to change the voting system and win the case for
Britain entering the single currency? Will the centre-left give
real priority to family life and the tackling of discrimination
against women? These are some of the questions that are tackled in
this topical and controversial book, which brings together leading
politicians, journalists, academics and thinkers. Contributors
include Robin Cook, Menzies Campbell, Lord Ashdown, Harriet Harman,
Ruth Kelly, Peter Mandelson, Don MacIntyre, Steve Richards, Anna
Coote, Polly Toynbee, Matthew Taylor, Kirsty Milne, Don Foster and
Chris Huhne.

At the age of five, Margaret Sherlock decided to give herself a
haircut with a cutthroat razor. It was the start of a lifelong
obsession with hairstyling. In 1945, as a fifteen-year-old, she
cycled daily to her hairdressing apprenticeship in Northern
Ireland, having earned her fees by scrubbing and polishing floors.
In June 1956, she opened her own salon in the market town of
Chorley. Little did she realise that it would lead to a career
lasting over sixty years. From Lancashire Wakes Weeks and Walking
Days to the ever-changing world of hairstyling with some
interesting characters along the way, life was not without its
challenges. Shampoo and Set is Margaret's inspiring story and one
of determination and hard work. It is proof that if you find a job
that you like then you never feel that your work is done even at
the age of ninety in the midst of a pandemic!
These colourful tales from the West Indies and Guyana are full of
unusual characters, including Mr Snake, Monkey, Mancrow the bird of
darkness, Anasi the spider and his old adversary, Tiger.
Over the next 40 years the number of people aged 60 and over in the
world is set to grow by one and a quarter billion. More than 80 per
cent of these people will be living in developing regions, such as
Asia, Africa and Latin America. What are the implications of this
for the world and what will old age be like for these people? This
original book provides a sophisticated analysis of links between
development, population ageing and the experiences of older people.
Drawing on a broad array of evidence, it challenges a number of
widely held misconceptions and generalisations. The book highlights
the diversity and complexity of international experiences and
argues that the effects of population ageing on development are
strongly influenced by policy choices. It argues that pension
programmes in developing countries often promote inequality and
clientelism, that health policies over-look basic provision and
lifelong promotion, and that care needs continue to be neglected.
It includes country case study chapters which analyse the
experiences of India, South Africa and Argentina. The book will be
of interest to people working in a wide range of academic
disciplines, including economics, gerontology, social policy and
development studies. It will also provide a key reference point for
policy makers and practitioners concerned with developing
countries.
Establishing a causal link between historical discourse and
political change, this important book describes the role of
historical discourse in establishing, maintaining, or destroying
elite and mass political identities in Soviet and post-Soviet
space.

Many countries in the developing world are facing a rapid
acceleration in population ageing. To date, this problem has
generated little interest either from academics or policy-makers.
Studies which focus exclusively on social security are of little
relevance for the majority of elderly in these regions, for whom
the possibilities of saving or making pension contributions are
remote. This book takes a more comprehensive approach, combining
analysis of social security issues in all developing countries with
micro-level case studies of poor urban elderly survival strategies
in Buenos Aires.
